During the committee amendment process in the Senate, the above verbiage was moved to ORC 2923.11(K), a list of items which ARE considered dangerous ordnance.

We believe this to be a clerical error that no one noticed until the bill had been sent to the governor for his veto.

This explicitly classifies as dangerous ordnance the very items lawmakers intended to legalize. Further, based on the definition of “sporting use”, this may also reclassify many other long guns currently in common use as dangerous ordnance, which requires additional licensing to legally possess.
